I'm planning to go in for JBL components (I have them in my santro too and really like them) but I was wondering where does the crossover go.
Also will the cables from the head unit be reqd to be cut/replaced and what does that do to the warranty?
Can u connect anything other than a pen drive to the USB port?

Sorry about bombarding you with so many questions but I hadn't checked this thread (I wonder why?) and I need you advice on this.

Hey Eyeguy

Putting the JBL components wont be a problem. Regarding the crossover, in my case it was put in the door panel, bolted to the inner side of the door. I have put pictures of it as well in my ICE install (2nd picture on page 33).

No need for cutting any wires at all. Please beware of this. This is the most important part. If you cut ny wires first ur warranty would be void. Even if you dont care about the warranty, features like Blue & Me may be Lost. And i think that would be a BIG no for everyone. So make sure no wire cutting is done. Supervise the installation urself and tell the installer before hand. A good professional installer will never cut any wires.

About the USB port, other than a USB i think people have tried connecting ipods with and without adapters (available in the market). I have an iphone but dnt know why i havent even tried connecting it yet. Never felt the need as all my music is in a dedicated stick/HDD.

Hope ive been able to help. Please dnt worry about askin any questions u have in mind. ::T

Ansal, what exactly is wire cutting?
I got JBL comps done yesterday. He did not cut any stock wire from FIAT at all but he did cut other wires from tweeters etc to connect them to each other. Does this come under wire cutting as well? :-?

Hi eyeguy, even in my case the crossover was bolted to the inner side of the front door. No wire from FIAT was cut at any time.
Apart from pendrive, the Blue&Me USB can be connected to iPod/iPhone (may need the adaptor depending upon Blue&Me software version and the iPod/iPhone model), many phones as well (I have connected the Samsung Corby Plus and played tracks from USB).

Thanks PaddleShifter
It was a relief to hear no wires were cut.
I was told that to attach the original wires to the crossover or directly to any new speakers the tips may have to be cut.
Where have you put the components (front or back) and can u tell me the model no. of the JBLs you have.
And how do they sound?

Btw do I use my regular phone usb cord to connect a nokia or blackberry to the blue n me.
I do have a dedicated pen drive but my wifes phone and mine have quite a bit of music too and it would be great to be able to connect them too.
